It touches on the Rhine Valley where the family originated, the journey from Rotterdam in the good ship St. Mark, problems encountered, and arrival at Philadelphia in September, 1741. Why did these German pioneers choose Pennsylvania to settle? This book is a biographical and genealogical history of Lawrence Leese and nine generations of his descendants from the time he arrived in Philadelphia.
